Summary:

Scientists are combining nanotechnology and biology to enable the body to heal itself and mobilize the body’s own healing abilities to repair or regenerate damaged cells. The research could enable damaged organs—kidneys, liver, heart—to be stimulated to heal themselves and injured tissues to be repaired and completely and permanently relieve effects of neurodgenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s Disease or Alzheimer’s Disease.
